4-dichlorobenzene and Methemoglobinemia

4-dichlorobenzene has been researched along with Methemoglobinemia in 1 studies

dichlorobenzene : Any member of the class of chlorobenzenes carrying two chloro groups at unspecified positions.
1,4-dichlorobenzene : A dichlorobenzene carrying chloro groups at positions 1 and 4.

Methemoglobinemia: The presence of methemoglobin in the blood, resulting in cyanosis. A small amount of methemoglobin is present in the blood normally, but injury or toxic agents convert a larger proportion of hemoglobin into methemoglobin, which does not function reversibly as an oxygen carrier. Methemoglobinemia may be due to a defect in the enzyme NADH methemoglobin reductase (an autosomal recessive trait) or to an abnormality in hemoglobin M (an autosomal dominant trait). (Dorland, 27th ed)
